Experience plant medicine, purification rituals, and spiritual connection, rooted in deep respect for the native cultureS.
The fast-paced rhythm of life distances us from our roots and isolates us amidst the noise. The Nest is a refuge, a space for connection and belonging.
Inspired by the cycles of nature and ancestral wisdom, The Nest reminds us that life follows rhythms, not straight lines. Like the seasons, we go through phases of retreat, expansion, and transformation. Accepting these cycles is accepting ourselves. True reconnection happens when we find peace in discomfort.
we invite you
To spend five deeply nourishing days with us, among the lush trees and pristine beaches of Bahia, Brazil.
Our team of experienced practitioners, Indigenous leaders, and psychosomatic therapists has come together to create an experience that will guide you through both inner and outer landscapes.

our rhythm
natural flow
We do not follow a rigid schedule. For Indigenous peoples, time is a flow, not a straight line. Here, we learn to listen to each phase of the journey and allow activities to unfold organically, aligned with the environment and intuition.
Instead of a fixed itinerary, we offer a living space where rituals, practices, and exchanges happen at the right time—the one that is felt, not imposed.
To connect is also to trust the natural rhythm of life.

"Sharing incredible experiences with an inspiring global tribe made me realize: healing the planet starts with healing ourselves, and sometimes that means a lot of laughter and tears. This retreat was like a United Nations of the spirit, and I definitely didn’t pack enough emotional luggage."
